IAFF Annual Memorial Service Set for Sept. 21
(May 23) -- The 16th annual IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Ceremony, scheduled for Sept. 21, 2002 in Colorado Springs, is expected to be the largest in the memorial’s history.
IAFF members from across the U.S. and Canada will gather that Saturday at the IAFF’s beautiful memorial in the shadow of Pike’s Peak to offer a solemn tribute to our Union’s fallen brothers and sisters and to recognize the supreme sacrifice made by their families, loved ones, and friends.
Many of the families of IAFF members who died in the line of duty between June 2000 and June 2001 were unable to make last year’s observance due to travel limitations in the days after the September 11 terrorist attacks. As a result, many of them are expected to join the loved ones of IAFF members who were killed in the line of duty between June 2001 and June 2002 at this year’s ceremony, along with family members and friends of fallen fire fighters who attend the ceremony year after year.
